Optical Mirrors

Mirrors are optical systems that reflect light when an incident beam encounters its reflective surface. In optical mirrors, reflectivity can be achieved by metallic substrates or by applying HR dielectric coatings on typically transmissive materials (usually glass). Enhanced Aluminum or Enhanced Silver retroreflectors are commonly used for laser applications; while BBAR (Dielectric), Protected Silver, Protected Gold or Protected Aluminum flat mirrors work with less demanding applications such as beam steering, interferometry, imaging, and illumination.

Use MEETOptics search to find the right supplier. Compare, sort, and filter mirrors by any technical specification from suppliers such as LAYERTEC, Edmund Optics, Sydor, EKSMA Optics, PLX, OptoSigma, Thorlabs, Knight Optical, OPTOSHOP, Avantier Inc., omega optical, Excelitas, PHYSIX Photonics, LASEROPTIK, SPACEOPTIX, Photonic Solutions, Chroma, SSI Optics, Andover, Band-Optics, and Alluxa.

To ensure the optical mirror's performance, the selected substrate has to accomplish a specific thermal expansion coefficient and damage threshold, while having a specific shape. At MEETOPTICS you can compare and select between concave mirrors, such as parabolic mirrors, that are used in light focusing applications; Rod Mirrors for OEM applications; Off-Axis Ellipsoidal Mirrors that are ideal for Finite Conjugate Reflection. You can also find and compare a wide range of D-shaped Mirrors, Prism Mirrors, Supermirror or Blanks that can be filtered by specifications to match your needs.
